Episode 22: Say Their Names (with David Rovics)

This episode features Portland-based singer-songwriter and activist David Rovics, who has already released four albums in 2020. We discuss what inspires him to be so prolific. We also discuss his most recent album, Say Their Names, the current situation in Portland, the important role music plays in protest movements, the challenges of being a DIY artist, among other topics. 

I also invite listeners to leave a voice message mentioning their favorite protest album, along with a brief statement of why they connect with the album. These comments will be included in a future episode. They will also be counted as votes for the 500 Protest Albums Project

This podcast is a companion to the website ongoinghistoryofprotestsongs.com. I started the website on December 6, 2017. Not only have I always been a passionate music fan, but I have always had an interest in the historical developments of music. An important part of that history is the integral role that music has played within social movements. I have always been drawn to music with a socially conscious message.
